Under Article 1 number 16 of Local Regulation of DKI Jakarta Number 7 of 2010 on Building (“LR No. 7/2010”), Certificate of Feasible Function (“SLF”) is a certificate which is granted by Local Government against the building that has been completed and has met the requirement of feasibility function based on examination’s result of building’s feasibility function as a requirement to be utilized.

Under Article 237 paragraph (1) of LR No. 7/2010, any person prior to utilization of building shall have SLF.
